English Translation

'Abdullah ibn al-Walid and Mu'ammal narrated to us with the same meaning, they said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Layla, from al-Hakam, from Miqsam, from Ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهما that the Muslims captured a man from the tribe of 'Aqil, and they captured the camel of the Prophet ﷺ (al-'Adba'). The man was brought to the Prophet ﷺ while he was tied up. He said: 'O Muhammad, why have you captured me and seized the stray camel of the pilgrims?' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'We have captured you because of the crime of your allies, the Thaqif, who detained two Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' Then the Prophet ﷺ released him in exchange for the two Muslim men.
